Today’s announcement by Alberta Government on the restriction of mobile devices during classroom instruction strongly reflects the resolution passed at our recent Annual Representative Assembly. We are encouraged by this first step but there’s still much work to be done. #ableg #abed

Alberta should not be balancing the budget on the backs of students. The government can afford it; students deserve better. There is no excuse for Alberta to be spending the least on public education, but we are. stopthexcuses.ca #ableg #abed

Alberta is not going to test its way out of underfunding. It’s time our provincial leaders stop their excuses and get their priorities right. Read the ATA's full news release here: teachers.ab.ca/news/massive-e…

On the first Friday of summer break, Alberta Government quietly announced that all schools must administer numeracy & literacy tests to Gr. 1-3 up to 3 times per year. For the first time, Kindergarten students will also face standardized testing: bit.ly/3Wtunm9 #abed #ableg

🍁 As Labour Day approaches, we’re reflecting on what it means for teachers. It’s more than just a holiday. With ongoing bargaining in Alberta, it's a reminder of the importance of fair working conditions. #CanadianTeachers #LabourDay2024 #abed #ableg

Alberta’s education funding? Not very mindful, not very demure. We're dead last in Canada despite being the wealthiest province. Our children deserve better. 🚫✋ #StopTheExcuses #TheLeast #abed #ableg
